The SRW248G4-K9 is designed to be scalable by offering a high port density with 48 Gigabit Ethernet ports and 4 SFP uplinks, allowing for easy expansion as the network grows. Additionally, the switch supports Cisco's Smartports, which allows for easy configuration of port settings and security policies, reducing network setup and maintenance time.
Security FeaturesThe SRW248G4-K9 small business 300 series layer 3 switch from Cisco includes several advanced security features to protect your network from unauthorized access and potential threats. Some of the key security features include:
- Access Control Lists (ACLs): Allows for granular control over network access by defining specific rules for traffic entering and exiting the network.
- Network Admission Control (NAC): Helps protect against unauthorized access by checking the health of devices attempting to connect to the network and only allowing access to compliant devices.
- Virtual Private Networks (VPNs): Supports site-to-site and client-to-site VPN, allowing for secure remote access to the network.
- Cisco Identity Services Engine (ISE): This feature allows administrators to authenticate and authorize network access based on user identity, and device posture, providing a secure network environment.
- Advanced Security Management: The switch supports Cisco's Smartports, which provides a simple way to configure security policies on individual ports and VLANs.
- Firewall and intrusion prevention: The switch also has a built-in firewall and intrusion prevention system, which helps to protect against external attacks and malware.
These security features help to protect your network from unauthorized access and potential threats, ensuring that your sensitive data remains secure.
